Product details
Overview
X4043S8I-2.7 from Intersil (now Renesas) is a CPU supervisor IC integrating power-on reset control, watchdog timer, supply voltage supervision, and 4kbit serial EEPROM in a single 8-pin SOIC package. It features active-low open-drain RESET output, 2.7V–5.5V operation, 2.55V–2.7V reset threshold, and I²C-compatible 2-wire interface - used for microcontroller system reliability in industrial embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the X4043S8I-2.7 datasheet, X4043S8I-2.7 pinout, X4043S8I-2.7 application, or X4043S8I-2.7 equivalent, key selection considerations include VTRIP programmability, Block Lock™ EEPROM protection granularity, watchdog timeout configurability (200ms/600ms/1.4s), and compatibility with legacy I²C bus timing at 400kHz.
Technical Context
The X4043S8I-2.7 implements a dual-function reset architecture: power-on reset with 250ms delay and brownout detection asserting RESET below 2.55V–2.7V (factory-set, reprogrammable). Its watchdog timer monitors SDA/SCL activity and triggers reset if no valid I²C transaction occurs within the selected timeout interval.
Internally, it combines a CMOS serial EEPROM array organized as 512 × 8 bits with Intersil's Direct Write™ memory cells (1M write cycles, 100-year retention), block lock protection controlled by nonvolatile BP2–BP0 bits, and a software-configurable control register accessed via slave address 0xB0 (10110000b) at 1FFh.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports wide-input industrial power rails without external regulation. |
| VTRIP Threshold | 2.55V to 2.7V - factory-programmed low-voltage reset point, reprogrammable via high-voltage WP sequence. |
| Reset Output | Active-low open-drain RESET - requires external pull-up; asserts down to VCC = 1V and holds for tPURST ≥ 200ms after recovery. |
| Watchdog Timeout | Selectable: 200ms / 600ms / 1.4s - set via nonvolatile WD1/WD0 bits; disabled by default. |
| EEPROM Capacity | 4kbit (512 × 8) - organized in 16-byte pages; supports byte and page writes with self-timed 5ms typical cycle time. |
| I²C Interface | 400kHz max clock rate - fully compatible with standard-mode I²C buses; uses SDA/SCL with open-drain drivers and mandatory pull-ups. |
| Standby Current | <1µA (watchdog OFF) / <20µA (watchdog ON) - enables ultra-low-power battery-backed operation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin JEDEC SOIC (3.9mm × 4.9mm), RoHS-compliant Pb-free plus anneal finish, -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | NC | No internal connection - must be left unconnected; not usable as grounds or bypass points. |
| 3 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output - asserts during power-up, brownout (VCC < VTRIP), or watchdog timeout; requires external pull-up resistor. |
| 4 | VSS | Ground reference - primary return path for all internal circuits and I²C interface. |
| 5 | SDA | Serial data bidirectional I/O - open-drain, wire-OR capable; carries command/data/address and watchdog restart signals. |
| 6 | SCL | Serial clock input - controls I²C timing; monitored by watchdog for activity detection. |
| 7 | WP | Write protect input - HIGH disables all writes (EEPROM and control register); also used for VTRIP programming with 15–18V pulse. |
| 8 | VCC | Supply voltage input - powers all functions; voltage level determines reset assertion and VTRIP calibration reference. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable VTRIP | Voltage threshold adjustable via high-voltage WP pulse - enables precise brownout tuning without hardware changes. |
| Block Lock™ Protection | Eight configurable protection modes (0–128 bytes, 1/4–full array) - prevents inadvertent firmware or calibration data overwrite. |
| Self-Timed EEPROM Writes | 5ms typical write cycle - eliminates need for external timing control; status verified via acknowledge polling. |
| Power-Up Reset Timing | 250ms fixed delay - ensures stable VCC and oscillator startup before processor release. |
| Low-Voltage Operation | RESET remains valid down to VCC = 1V - guarantees fail-safe behavior during deep brownout conditions. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Medical Sensor Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CPU supervisor with EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6361KA29+T | Fixed 2.93V reset threshold; no VTRIP programmability; 1kbit EEPROM; same 8-pin SOIC package. | Lacks field-adjustable brownout point; lower EEPROM density limits configuration storage depth. | Choose when fixed threshold suffices and cost sensitivity outweighs flexibility needs. |
| STM8T142M2U6 | Integrated 8-bit MCU core; 2.5V–5.5V; 2.63V reset; 2kbit EEPROM; different 8-pin TSSOP package. | Requires firmware development; adds processing capability but increases BOM complexity and validation scope. | Prefer when on-device decision logic (e.g., adaptive watchdog) is required beyond basic supervision. |
Compared with X4043S8I-2.7, MAX6361KA29+T offers simpler qualification but no VTRIP tuning, while STM8T142M2U6 embeds intelligence at the cost of design effort and footprint mismatch - X4043S8I-2.7 uniquely balances field-programmable supervision, robust EEPROM protection, and drop-in SOIC compatibility.

FAQ
What is the factory-default VTRIP setting for X4043S8I-2.7?
The X4043S8I-2.7 ships with a factory-programmed VTRIP range of 2.55V to 2.7V, optimized for 2.7V–5.5V supply operation. This threshold is reprogrammable using a 15–18V pulse on the WP pin and specific I²C command sequences documented in the FN8118 datasheet. The X4043S8I-2.7 maintains this setting across temperature and lifetime unless actively modified.
Does X4043S8I-2.7 support I²C standard-mode or fast-mode timing?
X4043S8I-2.7 supports I²C standard-mode operation up to 400kHz - compliant with SMBus 2.0 electrical specifications. It does not support fast-mode (1MHz) or high-speed mode. The SDA and SCL pins require external pull-up resistors, and the device responds to slave address 0xA0 (10100000b) for EEPROM access and 0xB0 (10110000b) for control register access.
How is EEPROM write protection implemented in X4043S8I-2.7?
X4043S8I-2.7 implements multi-layer EEPROM write protection: hardware-level via the WP pin (HIGH disables all writes), and software-level via three nonvolatile Block Protect bits (BP2–BP0) that lock 0, 16, 32, 64, 128, or up to 512 bytes. These settings persist through power cycles and are configured through the control register at address 1FFh using a three-step write sequence.
Can the watchdog timer in X4043S8I-2.7 be disabled after power-up?
Yes - the watchdog timer in X4043S8I-2.7 is disabled by default (WD1=1, WD0=1) and can be enabled or reconfigured via the nonvolatile control register. Once enabled, its timeout period (200ms/600ms/1.4s) remains fixed until rewritten. Disabling requires writing '11' to WD1/WD0 bits, and the setting survives power cycling - no external hardware change is needed to alter watchdog behavior.
What is the minimum VCC level at which X4043S8I-2.7 guarantees RESET assertion?
X4043S8I-2.7 guarantees RESET assertion down to VCC = 1V - meaning the output remains active even during severe brownout or battery-depletion scenarios. RESET deasserts only after VCC rises above the programmed VTRIP threshold and remains stable for ≥200ms (tPURST), ensuring clean system recovery without oscillation.
